  • Realistic and Visually Impressive

    I really liked this movie.  Sometimes it would move a tad bit slow but it was one of the best movies about Beowulf and Grendel that I have ever seen.  They really stuck to it being very realistic for the times.  I think Gerard Butler does an EXCELLENT job playing Beowulf.  I love the scenary - it is so visually stunning to see Iceland - the cinematography is excellent.  I love the humanity of this film - especially with the troll - even with the brutality there is still a little mercy.  It's a great movie to just sit back, relax and let the story unfold in front of your eyes.  I definately reccommend it!

  • Fun and Stupid

    Okay, if you're a Jack Black fan, you will love this movie.  Just don't take it seriously and sit back and enjoy the stupidity.  There were actually a few parts that really cracked me up and then there were other parts where I just shook my head and thought, why am I watching this???  But I have to admit it, I love Jack Black and his craziness and his love for music.  I really did like the first part where he met his partner, that was very cute.  I also liked the makeup for the Devil, very cool and fun.  So, don't watch this movie if you're expecting some hilarious - just let that giggly little 10 or 12 year old come out and enjoy Jack Black in all his Glory!!!

  • Disturbing but Visually Beautiful

    This movie was very artsy, very interesting and very uncomfortable at times.  One thing that really started getting on my nerves was that little boy soprano, whew, that was a little intense.  BUT the story was great although very sad, it held your attention even when it was a bit slow at times.  The one thing I really loved about this movie was how visual it was.  It's just a beautiful, hopeful, heartwrenching, bizarre, tragic, mind blowing movie.  This is a film to watch when you aren't feeling really depressed or really hungry and especially if you have a sick stomach...

  • Low Budget movie but it holds your Interest

    Horror Hotel  (1960)

    I think I like just about every Christopher Lee movie.  There is something about his presence, his voice...

    This was a nice little spooky film.  I love the darkness, the "fog", the strange people who just stand there and stare, the cold gaze of Elizabeth Selwyn, the blind - slightly insane minister, the Nancy Drew type college student that didn't let anything scare her, then there's her immature boyfriend and her scientific brother.  All these elements thrown together makes a pretty good low budget movie.  I also like the fact that the director draws you into the story to let you know there is something wrong and you want to warn the unsuspecting college student or help the poor little mute housekeeper. 

    Anyway, it's a nice movie to watch on a rainy Saturday afternoon.
